Rycote Ships New Windshield

A new solution for compact microphones is available from windshield and suspension system manufacturer Rycote.

The Windshield 10 Kit, designed to fit Sennheiser MKH8000 series mics, uses a specially configured version of the Rycote Small Modular Suspension.

According to Vivienne Dyer, managing director of Rycote, the MKH8000 mics have proved popular with location recording engineers since their launch in 2007.

“We soon began to receive a lot of feedback asking if we would consider making a compact windshield system that would fit these mics, so that customers did not have to go to the extent of purchasing one of our larger modular systems.”
